SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF A MEMBER AND ALTERNATE ON THE BAY CONSERVATION AND

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . AMEND the Board Order dated January 10, 1995 making
appointments to Committees and regional organizations to
delete Supervisor Jim Rogers as the County' s representative to
the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) and
instead appoint Supervisor Jeff Smith as the County's
representative to BCDC, effective January 10, 1995 through
December 31, 1995 .

alternate to Supervisor Jeff Smith on the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission (BCDC) effective January 10, 1995
through December 31, 1995, replacing Harvey Bragdon, Community
Development Director.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County has a seat on BCDC, to which I was appointed on
January 10, 1995 . In discussing this with Supervisor Smith, I
believe that it would be more appropriate for Supervisor Smith to
serve as the County' s representative on BCDC. Supervisor Smith has
agreed to serve as the County's representative instead.

Government Code § 66622 provides for the appointment of alternates
to the members of BCDC and reads in pertinent part as follows:
A member, subject to confirmation by the member's
appointing power, may authorize an alternate for
attendance at meetings and voting in the member's
absence. Each alternate shall be designated in a written
instrument which shall include evidence of the
confirmation by the appointing power and the alternate's
name shall be kept on file with the commission. . . .Each
alternate shall have the same qualifications as are
required for the member who appointed the alternate,
except that each county representative may designate as
an alternate a public official whom the appointing power
deems qualified to represent the county. [emphasis
added] .
The County Counsel 's Office agrees that Mayor La Force is a "public
official" for purposes of this section. All that remains is for
the Board of Supervisors (the appointing power) to agree that Mayor
La Force is qualified to represent the County and to concur in his
appointment as my alternate on BCDC.
I believe strongly that we should open up some of the boards,
committees and commissions on which we serve by utilizing community
representatives, where this is possible and appropriate, to
represent us as an alternate when we are unable to attend a
meeting. For this reason, I am recommending that Mayor La Force be
appointed as Supervisor Smith' s alternate on BCDC. Mr. Bragdon has
been advised of this change and has no objections to being
replaced.
